Florina Erbeli; Marianne Rice; Ying Xu; Megan E. Bishop; J. Marc Goodrich – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: Research on how much early phonemic awareness (PA) instruction is optimal has produced inconclusive answers. We conducted a nonlinear meta-analysis to estimate the optimal cumulative dosage of early PA instruction on PA outcomes with an associated maximum effect size in preschool through first-grade students. Method: Sixteen experimental…

Gonzalez-Frey, Selenid M.; Ehri, Linnea C. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
Two methods of decoding instruction were compared. Participants were kindergartners who knew letter sounds but could not decode nonwords, M = 5.6 years. The segmented phonation treatment taught students to convert graphemes to phonemes by breaking the speech stream ("sss -- aaa -- nnn") before blending. The connected phonation treatment…

Lassault, Julie; Sprenger-Charolles, Liliane; Albrand, Jean-Patrice; Alavoine, Edouard; Richardson, Ulla; Lyytinen, Heikki; Ziegler, Johannes C. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Purpose: This study was designed to assess the efficiency of a French version of "GraphoGame" (GG) against an equally engaging math intervention ("Fiete Math," FM) in a large school sample of children from socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods in grade 1 (N = 921). Method: The intervention was implemented in two…

Davis, Bronwen J.; Evans, Mary Ann – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
The overlapping waves model put forth by Robert Siegler emphasizes variability, adaptive choice, and gradual change in children's problem solving. These concepts were applied to emergent reading of an alphabet book with pages of three difficulty levels. Ninety-one kindergartners completed tests of emergent literacy. Twice, about 12 weeks apart,…
